The Animal Law Institute is building an extensive library of key animal law cases from around Australia. If there is a particular case you are looking for, you can find it by either typing in the case name, relevant jurisdiction or matter. If the case you are looking for is not located on our Case Database, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will endeavour to add it to our Case Database as soon as practicably possible.
